2. The Charles River Esplanade
Peaceful riverside views
추천: 커플, 가족, 사진, 알뜰 여행
The Charles River Esplanade is found on the Boston side of the river, which separates the city from Cambridge. This 3-mile leafy path is popular with joggers at all times of day, as well as flocks of wild geese. While the geese are pretty to look at, be sure to leave them alone.
The best way to take in the charm of the esplanade is to start your walk from the Museum of Science and head toward Boston University. Along the way, you’ll come across marshes, sailings boats for rent, and places to buy refreshments. A walk in this urban oasis also allows great views of Cambridge.

A local delicacy and famously romantic
추천: 커플, 음식, 알뜰 여행
Whether or not they’re an aphrodisiac is open to debate, but oysters are certainly tasty and Boston is famous for them. There are dozens of oyster bars around the city, many of which have set days or times when they’ll serve up oysters for a dollar each. No one said a romantic meal had to cost you a fortune.
Among the best options available for you are weekday afternoons at Warren Tavern on Pleasant Street, early evenings at Vialé Cambridge on Massachusetts Avenue, and on Thursdays at Publico Street Bistro & Garden on Dorchester Street. Try a few different spots to find your favorite.
